As a young man, Alexander Mackenzie worked one winter on Wolfe Island near Kingston, Ontario, cutting stone. Each Saturday night, he crossed the ice to visit his future wife, Helen, in Kingston. He nearly drowned one night when he fell through the ice, but continued his weekly visits, carrying a pole with him to help him extract himself should he fall through the ice again.
As Prime Minister, Mackenzie once toured Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario, and asked his soldier escort if he knew the depth of the wall beside them. The young man said that he did not. Mackenzie replied, "I do. It's five feet, ten inches. I know, because I built it myself!"
Mackenzie oversaw the completion of the Parliament Bulidings in Ottawa and had a secret and private escape route from his office - a spiral staircase - that opened onto an opposite street, thereby avoiding the crowds of people at the front.
